I have been wanting to do the Shitbox Rally for years and the death of my father in August this year at the age of 63 from prostate cancer, coupled with the death of a good friend in September at the age of 56 from bowel cancer has prompted me to make it happen sooner rather than later. My younger brother and I have formed a team called ‘Third Degree Burns’ and are confirmed as entrants for the Spring 2019 rally. The main object is to raise money for the Cancer Council, but also have a good time driving dodgy old cars through the outback.

Like you all, being an avid biofueler, I would really like to avoid using a petrol-powered vehicle for this trip so am on the lookout for a diesel vehicle that will cover the 4,000 + km distance over dirt roads from Melbourne to Townsville via Birdsville. The catch is that it must be 2-wheel-drive and not be valued at more than $1,000 (excluding tyres & rego).

Ideally I’d love to get hold of a diesel ute or van 1989 or earlier so I can put it on NSW Historic Vehicle rego ($50/year vs $1,000 for normal rego) and strap two 44 gallon drums full of bio / WVO to the back. But I am open to suggestion.

If you have, or know of a vehicle within reasonable distance of Sydney or Brisbane (where my brother lives) that we can get roadworthy and its total value not be deemed to be more than $1,000 (excluding rego & tyres), I’d be keen to hear about it. A pretty tall order, I know.

Also, if anyone would like to sponsor us, I would be very grateful as we have to raise at least $5,000 to participate. All donations over $2 are tax deductible. You can find our donation page here:
